Glade installation error "itstool not found"


When I try to make Glade in MSYS2, after navigating to the folder and typing in ./configure it starts to install but then hits an error and terminates:

"checking for itstool . . .no"

followed by:

"configure: error: itstool not found"

I read here that it might have something to do with Python packages not being installed?:

Please help this noob get Glade up and running! :)

Cheers,


Solution

  • The MSYS2 folks provide a repository full of packages built for you (itstool is there). So you just want to install Glade. pacman -Ss glade will search for packages and install it with pacman -S ... (I am not on Windows to see exact name).
